1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Rhizosphere bacteria always compete intensely for ecological niches, employing various strategies to inhibit the growth of microbial competitors. One such strategy, contact-dependent inhibition (CDI), involves the direct delivery of toxic proteins into competing neighboring bacteria by a secretion system, leading to the inhibition of their growth. However, the ecological function of CDI competition in the natural environment remains unclear. In this study, we examined the role of the type VII secretion system (T7SS) substrate LXG domain-containing protein in the rhizobacterium
